Nikola Jokic, the force of habit | NBA

To dominate the Pelicans, Nikola Jokic did not force his talent: he simply retained his exceptional level of play in January. The pivot still showed another face in the second half, after a very shy first, with 22 points scored, including 16 in the third quarter thanks to three award-winning baskets. In the Nuggets' victory, he finished with 29 points (11/19 in shooting, 3/6 at 3-pts), 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Another triple-double for him this month, his 6th, and the 69th of his career. He is thus quickly approaching Wilt Chamberlain, with his 78 triple-double. "He's an MVP who does MVP stuff" “He can take control of a game whenever he wants. That's exactly what he did.", notes his new teammate Bryn Forbes for ESPN. "When he puts in at 3-pts, he's almost unstoppable", sa...

The Heat correct desperate Knicks | NBA

The Heat starts very strong. By a suffocating defense and effective systems for two award-winning shots from Duncan Robinson, the Floridians take an 11-point lead after four minutes (13-2). The Knicks find themselves chasing the score from the start, not ideal for gaining confidence. Especially since PJ Tucker unexpectedly catches fire (10 points) and the Heat logically prances in the lead after twelve minutes (30-16). It is then Tyler Herro, back after a week in solitary confinement, who takes over for the Heat. The sixth man from Miami scored 9 points in 6 minutes and the gap remained above 15 points. We have to wait for a big pass from RJ Barrett, which allows the Knicks to pick up at -10 halfway through the second quarter (46-36), to find some interest in this meeting. T...

Despite the Hornets' defeat, trampled by the Raptors in offensive display, the Crown Heights, Brooklyn native delivered a good game off the bench, demonstrating all the "microwave scorer" qualities that made him a "lottery pick” last summer: 18 points (6/11), including 13 in the second quarter alone. « It sure is a nice feeling » confessed the player, about this big half hour spent on the floor.
